Matty Lee and Georgia Ward won 10m mixed synchro silver, taking GB's total to a World Series best of six medals. Daley won Olympic bronze at the London Aquatics Centre in 2012, but had not secured a World Series title since April 2013.

"I knew I had this in the tank and that I could beat the Chinese," he told BBC Sport. "It [99.00] is the highest I've ever scored with a 'twister' routine in my life, so it's great for it finally to work in competition." Couch won synchronised 10m platform bronze alongside Sarah Barrow on Friday. She continued her impressive individual form by claiming the final podium place with a total of 357.80 from her five routines, with Canada's Roseline Filion (379.15) taking gold and China's Huixia Liu (378.70) silver.
